Macro.Office.Confused
This multi-platform macro-virus infects Office97 components: Word documents and Excel workbooks and sheets. The virus contains two auto-macros in Excel sheets and Word documents: Document_Close and Workbook_Deactivate. The virus is Chinese (Taiwan) specific and cannot replicate under other MS Office releases.
The virus replicates itself in Excel on de-activating workbooks, and in Word, the virus infects documents that are being closed. The virus also replicates from Excel workbooks to Word documents (if a Word application is active), as well as from Word documents to Excel workbooks (if Excel is active).
